Classification of uranium deposits

The world s largest and highest-grade uranium deposits occur in metamorphic rocks. An extensive review of the classification of uranium deposits was given by Ruzicka. His classification of uranium vein deposits was subdivided into five types, based mainly on mineralogy.

Vein-like deposits were described as uranium deposits of uncertain genesis by Mathews etal Except for a small number of these deposits in sedimentary rocks, the group is subdivided into unconformity-related deposits and deposits of metamorphic rocks. In a more genetic classification of the major (Proterozoic) vein-like deposits of the world, Dahlkamp and Adams deciphered the relationship of diagcncsis, metamorphism, metasomatism and weathering on uranium concentrations in various host rocks. The result is a logical genetic explanation for the spectrum of vein-like deposits observed today.
